expectations for Alyeska December conditions

Anyone have an idea about when Alyeska might run all lifts? Noticed the resort only opened lower lifts on opening day. I'm not from the area and considering coming to ski sometime in December. Are they staggering terrain openings or is there not enough snow yet? Any thoughts on general expected conditions this month would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Dating? Is there any hope for the 40+ crowd?

Apps are just. Ugh. Asking random people out around town seems sketchy.

I'm out of practice and just want a decent conversation and meal with someone.

Fuck GCI

For over the past year I have been dealing with shitty internet for gci, first it started with bad latency on upload, then turned to bad latency on both upload and download, and eventually started affecting upload and download speeds recently, and every single time I try to get it fixed, they don't have a clue in the world how to fix the problem, customer service sucks ass, the internet is slow, and is way to expensive for what you get back, I've tried multiple different ways to fix it and nothing has worked and gci has done fuck all about it, this is bullshit.

Buying carpet

Any advice on where to buy residential carpet? Any place that you were really happy with? Need to replace our downstairs carpet (about 1300 ft2).

15 pedestrian deaths

People in anchorage need their licenses revoked. How many people are they going to plink off the streets? Just going for a record? I walked for 5mins on Dimond and almost got hit. If you can’t operate a motor vehicle don’t get in one. I’m tired of the pedestrians being blamed when our city drivers and city can’t take the blame for what they do to our pedestrians. It’s ridiculous and sick that you can’t walk in this city and if you get hit dead it’s your fault. Just because you have a car and a license doesn’t mean you’re smart or better. It’s called non reckless driving. APD loves traffic stops but can’t seem to get these vehicular murderers some consequences. So many killers walking among us now smh. I know one of the drivers this year and let me tell you she didn’t get charged and I know she deserved to. Winter isn’t an excuse either you guys live in Alaska and need to be able to act accordingly it’s not just for pretty views.

GPS Dog Tracking Tags?

Hello Anchorage dog owners!

I'm wanting to get a fitness / GPS tracker for my dogs (e.g., Tractive GPS, Fi Series, etc.) - I was wondering if anyone had any success with these, and with which brand? I've had some issues about national companies and GPS working even in the city, not to mention on trails lol.

Thank you in advance!!

$370 in unemployment!?

I just wanna say $370 max a week in unemployment. Really? I can’t even pay my rent with that let along groceries and everything else. I’m in construction so there’s off time between seasons. Seems kinda ridiculous. Let me know what you think.

Alyeska changes

Alyeska resort has taken out the fireplace/ lounge area at the top of the steps. Building a second bar on the same floor. Also gone are all the tables and sitting areas on that floor. All that is left is all the now redundant extra chairs shoved awkwardly against the walls. If you were planning a getaway and want to socialize or share a table/ meal or game outside your room, don't bother going out there anymore.

Best place in Anchorage for native-style smoked salmon?

Trying to get goodies for my lower 48 family, and smoked salmon seems like it would be great. Does anyone sell genuine/close-to-genuine smoked salmon the way they make it in the village?

Local band?

I was told that this band is local.. def diggin the vibe.. would they recreate the video? Can we even recreate this vid? But more local? I know most locals would simply ignore and trot along or ask if I got a dollar.. but imagine a music video showcasing A town.. some dimond, some coastal trail, a bit of 4th, muldoon, and capped off with a view from flat top
